Mystwood Wedding Photography — David Maltby Images

There's a portfolio slideshow further down this page. You can also browse real Mystwood wedding albums on the Mystwood Weddings Facebook page — hundreds of galleries from real couples at the venue.

Candid and documentary-first. I hang back and watch for real moments — the laugh during the vows, the look between the two of you when no one else is watching. There are moments throughout the day where I'll guide you into a position or suggest a setup, but the majority of your gallery will be natural, unposed, and genuinely yours.

Of course — though in 550+ Mystwood weddings, most couples have been perfectly happy with a phone call. We can do that, or if you'd prefer to meet up somewhere on the Central Coast for a coffee and a chat, that works too.

Roughly 60–80 images per hour of coverage. Every photo is delivered in both colour and black and white.

Via a private online gallery sent to your email, usually within a few weeks of your wedding. You can view, download (high and low resolution), and share directly from the gallery on any device. Family and friends can also order prints straight from the gallery.

Every wedding is different, but here's a general run of play for full-day coverage:

• Bride preparation

• Groom preparation

• Details — dress, rings, jewellery, perfume, invitations, any memorial elements

• The ceremony

• Congratulations from guests

• Full group photo

• Family formals

• Bridal party photoshoot around the Mystwood property

• Bridal party entrance and cake cutting

• Speeches

• First dance and parent dances

• Bouquet toss / garter toss

(Note: some packages begin at the ceremony rather than preparations — check your booking details if you're unsure.)

Mystwood is a genuinely beautiful property with a lot of options — which is a good problem to have. On the day, I work with the videographer to choose locations based on conditions: light, weather, the size of your group, how much time we have before dinner. If you have specific requests — a particular spot, props, kids, horses and carriages — let me know beforehand so I can plan for it.

Yes, send it through. A few things to keep in mind though: I have my own style and can't directly replicate another photographer's work. I can usually incorporate a couple of specific ideas, but if I'm buried in a shot list during your day, I'll miss the candid moments that are usually the ones couples love most. Use it as a conversation starter rather than a checklist.

Yes — and they're genuinely useful, not just a nice-to-have. It's a chance to meet me properly before the day and feel relaxed in front of the camera. A lot of couples use the images for save-the-dates too.

• 60-minute shoot on location on the Central Coast

• 50 fully edited images in colour and black and white

• Delivered via online gallery

• $495 (or $400 cash) | +$50 if outside the Central Coast

Yes to both. Once your gallery arrives, you and your guests can order professional prints and wall art directly through the gallery's online shop — all printed by my trusted lab. Albums start at $550 for 20 pages; couples are involved in the layout before anything goes to print. Get in touch if you'd like to know more.

I now have an express delivery service where your wedding photos will be delivered within 48 hours of your wedding.

The cost is $200 and payable on the day of your wedding.
